NO unread posts?
« on: May 15, 2011, 13:32:19 pm »
The past week, when I first open BWer in the mornings and click on 'view unread posts since your last visit' it comes up empty and says 'their
are no unread posts since your last visit. Click here to read all unread posts.' And when I click, it says 'there are no unread posts.'  It happened most every day this week.  Then if I go to a specific board and read the list of posts, of course there are dozens of posts that have been written over night which are unread.  So why won' they come up when I ask to see unread posts?  ???

Any ideas?

I don't know, but this has happened to me lots of times.. and very randomly - no rhyme or reason that I can find...

Are you using the same computer? Sometimes I find if I switch computers it will come up blank.

Glad I am not the only one - it is frustrating isn't it!!!  Hoping an admin might see this one and have some idea of what I mean?

Nope!  If you've done the requisite clear your history/cache and it's still happening, no ideas.  You're better off asking Tom or Gareth.

The Admin team is actually made up of Gareth, Tom, Jaime, and myself as well as the GM's Jessica, Aisling, Rachel and Deb.

maybe DH/DS is sneaking on when you aren't looking and clicking the "mark all as read" button ??? ;)  I am sure if Murray and DH had thought of that they would do it to me .... :)

Tom is the webmaster, but he is part of the Administrative team along with the rest of us, as Lana pointed out.  Hence the red stars and the "Administrator" title above the username.   :)

Ok, so I have noticed this happens to me if the unread posts get to more than 6 pages, which must just be my limit. After that it kind of "restarts" back to the beginning as if I have no posts. The longer I don't sign on, the less posts I have!

That's my first bit of advice, make sure and do a thorough clean of your cookies and cache/temporary internet files. Also, ensure your browser is updated to the latest version.  Usually, it's a corrupted cache that causes these errors.  Another point to note (although mostly redundant after all this time) is to ensure that you are accessing the site via babywhispererforums.com.  The type of issue you are seeing is typically local to the users machine, if everybody was having the problem it would tend to lean towards the server having issues.  At the moment it seems that there's only a few people out of the entire membership having this problem, so it's more likely to be an issue with your software rather than the server.  That's not a definite, just a most likely possibility :)

The true Admins here in terms of work and effort are Jaime, Lana and the GM's.  These days, I basically ensure the bills are paid, and Tom keeps the wheels spinning - rather effectively too, thanks Tom :)
